After Germany declared war on them? They didn’t defeat them out of good will, in fact, I’d say America and South Africa were the closest things to Nazi Germany outside of the Reich
There’s a difference between being a good country and being a global force for good. In helping to defeat the Nazis, the U.S. was a global force for good regardless of what else they did, had done or will do. The same with Stalinist Russia.
And then they took all the top scientists from Germany and Japan, who were guilty of crimes against humanity, and made them high ups in the American government
The Russians did nothing on the Western Front or North Africa.
But yes, they lost the most lives. I’m not sure why that means it wasn’t a collaborative effort. Are you claiming that if the U.S. and Britain had sat by and done nothing, Russia would have defeated Hitler singlehandedly and liberated Western Europe? Because I find that to be a very spurious claim if so.
Suffering more losses does equate to contributing more to towards the victory. For example America’s Lend Lease Act didn’t cost American soldiers but contributed towards the allied victory.
Never has been the global force for good
I mean… defeating the Nazis?

Is it good to beat the shit out of the school bully after he picks a fight with you so he learns to stop picking fights with people? I would say so.
Not if you’re quite similar to that bully

Not really
Bad countries can’t do good things?
If they did they’d be good countries
stopped clocked fallacy.
the united states is in so many wars, they were bound to achieve one somewhat correctly.
The U.S. military also defeated the Confederacy. So that’s two.
thats 2!
shut it down, shut this all down!
Helping end genocide in the Balkans would be a third example…
Ok…? Does that dispute the point? Original comment said they were “never” a force for good
Global force for better
Good would’ve involved them allowing Spanish civil war vets to fight
You know that was more so Russia right?
I would say it was a combined effort, but Russia suffered a lot more. They didn’t liberate Paris though.
We would be living in a better world if they did
It was a combined effort, but Russia did most of the work and lost most of the lives? Nice
